Since its introduction in 1981, Student Billing has been implemented by more than 1,000 independent schools. We have learned from the experience and suggestions of those schools to produce the latest version of Student Billing, a highly sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, student billing software program. The system gives you maximum flexibility in how you bill and how you receive payments so you can accommodate any situation that may arise.
Student Billing has been designed to Microsoft's latest specification for Windows and is a component of Academy, Blackbaud's integrated software solution for schools.
